I will miss miniature Lego pieces meticulously placed around every nook and cranny of this home: in my bed and under my sheets, on chair rail, on piano keys, on shelves behind picture frames, in the pantry, every where you walk and on every makeshift ledge that is level to Ty's height. Yet, they are never where you thought you left them and impossible to locate when desperately needed.
I will miss the "little man" in Ty's stomach that will remind him around 2:00 o'clock each day that he hasn't eaten lunch, as he is now in my kitchen desperate for food. Because, Ty is playing hard and can't break for lunch at noon, when everyone else does.
I will miss Ty begging for someone to play baseball with him in the backyard. Of course, he only asks during the HOTTEST part of the day when the sun hasn't rotated off the back yard yet. Anyways, that couldn't possibly make a difference.
I will miss Ty getting in the car to leave the house and after strapping on his belt say, "I'm thirsty. Can I get a drink?" or even better "Wait I forgot my Lego guy. Can I go get him?"
I will miss my little shadow that, as of yesterday, completely adored and loved to be with me because from here on out it will never be the same.
Here's to an awesome year Ty guy. I will miss you terribly!
Note to self: refrain from posting the same day emotions are running high. Drop off was easy, blogging is not.
Update: About three days into school I mentioned to Ty that I had missed him on one particular day. This was his reply: " I missed you too mom. I miss you every time I say Ms. Christensen's name."
A second Update: Again, I told Ty that I missed him being at school. I promise I'm not trying to manipulate the kid. The last time I told him I missed him was over two weeks ago and that's when I got his first reply.
Tonight while getting Ty ready for bed this was our conversation:
Mom: I missed you today, buddy.
Ty: I missed you too.
Mom: When do you miss me?
Ty: During learning time.
Mom: What's learning time?
Ty: You know, when you learn.
Mom: Oh. Why do you miss me then?
Ty: Because that's when the teacher doesn't know what I'm thinking about.
I love this little man. We'll let it slide that he wasn't paying much attention, right now "learning time" consists of your basic 5 shapes and the numbers 1-5. So day dream away Ty guy!

I'm going to miss all those things about Ty too. What I miss the most is the fact that I barely see that little man at my house anymore. What a cutie!
So, yeah, I'm crying. Great lil' post. There is just something about little boys that pulls at a mom's heart strings. I love the last line about him missing you too everytime he says his teacher's name. So sweet. :)
That is the sweetest thing ever. You're such a good, devoted mom. Me, I'm wondering if the 2-year-old can sneak in with the kindergartner...
Emily! It's so nice to see you!
Jaden looks SO mature. I'm pretty much in shock seeing her. What a little darling.
How fun you get to go to Lewisburg...and in the fall. That's the best time!
I'm glad you guys are doing good. It would be nice to see you when you guys are around here next. Get the Rigbys, Giffords and Tidwells together, too...
